The Phillies may not have made a splash signing this offseason, but they may have put themselves in a better spot for seasons to come.
Earlier this month the Phillies came to an agreement with Comcast SportsNet on a 25-year television rights deal worth more than $2.5 billion, according to a CSN Philadelphia spokesman.

The Phillies' stake in CSN Philadelphia will be around 25% according to a business report by John Ourand and Eric Fisher of Sports Business Daily.
Yes, it seems like a lot of money and a great way for the club to remain competitive, but the Phillies are not the only club to recently sign or engage in discussions of a new television package.
According to Forbes, the Dodgers, Angels, Padres, Mariners, Astros, Yankees, and Indians have all moved forward with new deals and the Cubs and Diamondbacks will soon join suit.
